Miles of Smiles

Sarah has started smiling at us - so fun!!!

Sarah's First Pooh picture

Since I have taken monthly pictures of Ryan with Winnie the Pooh, I figure I should do the same with Sarah. This was taken a few days after she turned 1 month, but you get the idea.

What a big boy!

Ryan with Winnie the Pooh - 1 Month

1 Year

2 Years

I have taken pictures of Ryan with Winnie the Pooh since he was born - every month for the first year, then every 6 months. I can't believe how much my baby boy has grown! He was 5 lbs 15 oz when he was born and now he is about 25 lbs. He is still a little guy though, wearing mostly 12-18 mo clothes still.

I can have my cake and eat it too!

Ryan is definitely my son - he LOVES his dessert too (though he doesn't get it very often).

Happy Birthday Ryan!!!

How is my baby 2 already???? We are having a family party on Saturday, but did a little birthday for him on his birthday yesterday. We had cupcakes and let him open 1 present. He also got to go to the doctor for his 2 year check up. He weighs almost 25 pounds now. Ryan is at such a fun age. He has so much to say (and we can even understand most of it). He knows his colors, his body parts, some of his numbers, animal sounds and so much more. He makes us laugh every day:) Of course he is 2, so he makes me want to scream some days too, but that is to be expected. He is doing fairly well adjusting to having a little sister, though he doesn't like it when I have to change her or feed her, so we have some behavioral problems during those times. We look forward to the day when they can play together, mostly anyway....

Fun in the Snow

We Bought a House

So, in all of the excitement of having Sarah, we haven't gotten around to telling everyone that we bought a house! It has certainly been an eventful month for us:) We weren't really planning to buy yet, but in mid-December we drove by this house and saw it for sale and looked it up on the internet, not because it looked good but because it was near the highway for Matt to get to work and very close to my grandparents and my mom. Then we went to look at it with a realtor. We discovered that it needed LOTS of updating - very ugly carpet throughout and lots of ugly wallpaper. But we also discovered that it has 2 1/2 baths, 2 car garage, air conditioning and basically 4 bedrooms. These are all things we really wanted to have and hadn't been finding in our price range. So, we decided to make an offer, and came to an agreement on Christmas Eve. We closed last week and started taking wallpaper down this weekend. We won't be moving in for awhile because we want to do the work before we move in and Matt is working a lot so that is probably going to take awhile. But, we are excited:)
